The Same old Cry.-The bright cor
respondent of the Cumberland Times
has been hearing reports too, and the in
experienced young man, therefore,
who "didn't believe anybody had
really complained to that JOURNAL
about the roads," is in error:
Complaints from every source are every day
heard over the shameful condition of the
various county roads leading into town, more
particularly the one to Midlothian, and that
part of the National Pike west of Frostburg,
on both sides of the Garrett county line, es-
pecially that part lying on the Garrett side.
There are many places along this much
travelled thoroughfare that are well nigh i'm
passable. Large, loose stones, the size of a
peck measure, are allowed to remain inside
of the road-bed to bump and jostle the wheels
of passing vehicles, and deep cutters across
the road, which for two years have been per-
mitted to grow wider and deeper with each
succeeding rainfall, render it impossible to
travel the road with safety even, to say
nothing Of comfort and convenience
The Furnace road is III very much the same
condition, and both could be much improved
by simply removing the loose stones and
throwing few shovelfuls of earth from the
roadside into these gullies. In view ofthis SIM
pie and inexpensive remedy, it is not to be
wondered at that our citizens who travel these
roads and who pay taxes to keep them in
proper condition, should feel indignant that
such outrages are permitted to continue

There IL no fusn Of twilight In the plain:
The day Il dead. the wind II weird and ehriil
Amid the gloom the sheeted shapes OF rain
Glide TO and fro with steadily feet and It'll.
And wilder than the woods autumnal moan

No bird dips down q moment in ite flight
To fill the silence full Of sudden song:
The immemorial music Of the night,
When stare are few and twilight fingers long.
II hushed with lone, sharp sound OF wintry
blight.
The cricket auavers near the sheltered stone :
And bark the haunting cry, Alone, Alone !! =
Wan miets on level march and meadow rise,
Like spectral lakes along whose cloudy CLEANS
Towards come dim coast, come island-vale OF
dreams,
While on this desolate shore some watcher cries
To friends afar In the remote unknown,
Lamentng through the gloom, .'Alone, alone y
The boughs arc shaken in the bitter sky
With hollow sound OF trouble and amaze:
Like pallid ghosts pursued through lonely
ways:
Darkly watch them as they shudder by.
While yet again In mournfui monotone
The voice repeats my thought, "Alone. alone"
Night deepens on the haggard close Of day
With wilder clamor Of the wind and rain;
Louder the beaten branches groan and sway:
And itfully the voice comes once again.
Across the felds, m re faint and far away
IL it the dark birds wailng backward blown.
Or my own heart that cries, "Alone, alone!'

But when the daughter is married

Too often. however, they not only fol-

The result is to be expected to a

place. far from rcal-estate booms and
the hannts Of men. But it il good

they toll unmolested except by their
owners. the Hutchinson boys. The
country is rugged but romantic. The
quiet life Of the little rural retreat was
turned into the greatest excitement last
Thursday night. While the Hutchin-
sons were asleep and dreaming Of the
great sums of money they would make
this season a stranger entered the camp.
He was not slow in making his pre-
sence felt and heard. The sleepers
were suddenly awakened by sounds that
suggested small cyclone raging among

to see the faint outlines OF huge brown
colored monster upsetting the beehiyes
and working destruction with property

The surprised spectator fastened to
his brothers bedside and told what was
going on at the apiary. The two
rushed out, one taking bis rifle. The
bear was evidently hungry, for he made
savage lunges at the boxes filled witt
delicious hoLey. He would take a few
mouthfuls ont of one frame and then &C

The beauty and worth of letters be-
tween those who have left home and the
ones who remain, are connected with
sentiments that no one can appreciate
who has not sent and received these
letters. They are tie of affection. or,
rather an evidence OF some tie,peculiar
to people of refinement and of emotion
al strength and persistence. The pra-
ctice is not found among people Of
low instincts, for they are not capable
of getting out of it the help and the
enjoyment that are SO profitable to
people of keener sensibilities. The
bond between parent and child is
easily sevred and neglected by them.
and at an early age the child shifts
for himself before he has gathered the
idea of his dependence on parents that
children have in more advanced stages
Of living who require many years of
parental support and counsel and
encouragement in order that they may
be fitted to carry on work and perform
duties of u more difficult and noble
character.
Home letter writing is an indication
as well as builder Of personal charac-
ter. The boy leaves home to battle
his way in life, perhaps, or to pre-
pare himself in education for doing SO,
and, if he be not of ignoble blood, he
writes weekly letter to his mother. He
contides in her his hopes, his prospects,
his reverses and his successes; his let
ter is diary of things done and
thought of doing, of fears and conf
dence, of sorrow and joy, Of ventures
made, of steps lost and won.
A mother. only mother can reply
to such letters. Her sympathy, advice,
and self sacrifice, and heartfelt con-
Germs are all truly feminine and mother
ly. Her tender heart responds to her
boys trust and condolences. like an
.Eolian harp to the wind. The son
cannot but be better and stronger for
the letters to his mother and from her;
he cannot but feel that he has acquitted
himself more capably and honorably,
that he has been more loyal to duty and
rectitude, more faithful to work under
taken and to men with whom he ha:
been brought in association.

An old negro woman was employed as
cook in the family of Mr.. S.. Though
good servant in most respects, she
had propensity for petty thieving that
was very annoying to her mistress.
Mrs. S-often missed small guam
titles of tea, coffee, sugar, etc, but the
cook always stoutly maintained her
innocence when questioned. and in this
she was usually supported by Miss
Florence s.. a kindhearted daugh-
ter of the family. One day Aunt Tidy
(the cook) was charged with a more
serious theft than usual At first she
seemed at loss for a reply, but she
suddenly burst out with: Il doan'
blieye l TUX dat ting-no, l doan'.
But if Miss Flaw nee done say TUX it,
den b'lieve it. Miss Flaw nee tell dc

The more uneducated negroes show
a strange inability to understand what
the simplest pictures even are intended
to represent, and their interpretations
of more complex pictures are strangely
ludicrous. In the family of Mr.. S.

asked her what she thought it was
